Actually, Zeus does plenty in Greek Mythology, including singlehandedly saving his race from extinction in the war against titans, and slaying his father for eating his siblings.
Bro Zeus is literally the most benevolent being in the myths. He is the most reasonable of all. In fact they wrote specific stories to show how good a leader is, when Hera, Apollo etc drugged and tied him up to overthrow him, all Zeus did was hang her by chains between heaven and Earth (above the pit of chaos in some versions). That's literally less punishment than a real life person would receive for drugging and tying someone up. Any other god would have thrown them all to tartarus.
There is also Plutus, the god of wealth, and Zues' and Athena's actual jobs are management and problem solving. Collectively they would be in charge of finance.
Yeah, Germans caring for democracy in Europe on the other hand, when they pretty much are democratic out of American imposition ( literally tried to crush democracy in the continent twice) is a little weird though...

Hermes is only responsible for merchants themselves. His Roman "equivalent"-Mercury- is responsible for finances. Hades is only known as god of the riches because he had precious metals.
@@asiyaheibhlin You are splitting hairs in a way that no one in the ancient world would. It makes little sense to say that Hermes was the patron of traders but not trade.
Alright, here are some tips on Greek mythology for clarification: 1. Hermes was the god of Commerce and trade, thus being the most fitted for god of finance. 2. Hades is NOT god of wealth. That's Plutus (Πλούτος) whose name literally means wealth and riches. NOT to be confused with Pluto (Πλούτων), which is a euphemistic name for Hades, god of the underworld and the dead. Plutus and Pluto are NOT THE SAME. Greek mythology can be a bit confusing sometimes and has a lot of things going on. (I should know, as a Greek and an individual that has spent hours studying on them).
@@OnlyHuman_AfterDark Hades was initially the god of the underworld and therefore the place where the dead reside but as the time progressed in order to give Hades a better less grim image the Greeks also associated him with wealth and gave him the name Pluton since Greeks literally believed that the underworld lied beneath our feet so did all the precious metals such as gold, silver, gems etc considered also part of Hades' domain or sphere of influence By the time the Romans came in contact with the Greeks Hades was already known as Pluton

Dude if the actually u r referring to here refers to the facts in the video,then u r correct but if it refers to the actual Greek Mythology,Hades was the Lord of the underworld and master of Thanos when Roman Mythology adopted Hades into the role of Pluto,he assumed an extra role as the God of Wealth coz of the Roman logic that the wealth(minerals and rare gems ,precious stones) comes from the earth ,Hermes was the God of Thieves,travellers and of trade....
Because people aren't seeking accuracy on a skit. If it is funny, just leave the way it is and if you know what is correct then be happy that you know it.
Not sure if they did that on purpose but the black Apollo joke is funny on multiple levels because greek people thought that Apollo's sun carriage got out of control and burned the earth scorching humans so much it created dark skin people xD.
That was his son who did that trying to impress his friends who were vacationing in Libya, it's the creation story for the Sahara desert. He also flew too high, causing the north to become cold. He was so upset by the loss of his son that he swore off doing it anymore, leaving the job to Helios.
Not a stupid belief when u understand the truth that darker skin colors onset in areas where Sun is biggest thrrat to humans because it is nearer Eart at Equator.
Hades suggesting they get rid of everyone always makes me laugh because Hades was actually considered the richest god due to him having default ownership of every single mineral and gemstones that grew from the earth (including gold), and was VERY efficient at managing his wealth. There was also Plutus; also a greek god of wealth and riches.

I thought he was just the richest of all the Greek gods and not a god of riches... Now that I think about it, being the richest god probably does make him the god of riches...
The greek god of wealth and riches is Plutus. Hades is just the god of the dead. Both were synchronized with the Roman god Pluto, who was the god of both.
"I am also god of wisdom" "Great perfect so give us your wisdom" "we could go to war" Am i the only one who cracks up at this part everytime i watch this video.
This was a nice re-imagination of the Greek Gods and the comedy was hilarious! Also Poseidons crown was really pretty. Also the way Zeus started roasting Hermes when he is supposed to be his favourite son XD.
truth is, hades is also the god of wealth because wealth comes from the ground. hephaestus, as a smith, may be involved in the coining of currency. hermes is not only a messenger, but god of magic, thieves, writing and, i think, also trade. apollo may also be involved. the association with the sun is also an association with gold
Hades is the God of death but he collects two coins from every dead person and can sniff gold and silver from all corners of the earth which makes him the richest of the gods
im 17 year old and Hades is the god of underworld, not death. Thanatos is the god of death. Hades oversees and rules the underworld. It doesnt take a huge genius to know the difference.

Me, a Greek mythology enthusiastic, knowing Hades is the God of Riches: *low-key offended laughter*
He has coin from every death so he must be.
But I thought only his Roman counterpart, Pluto, was the God of Riches?
Its actually only Pluto. The reason for that is the Roman's saw death as a good thing in the end.
I thought he was just the richest of all the Greek gods and not a god of riches...
Now that I think about it, being the richest god probably does make him the god of riches...
The greek god of wealth and riches is Plutus. Hades is just the god of the dead. Both were synchronized with the Roman god Pluto, who was the god of both.
Lol does anyone realize almost all of these ppl are Zeus' s children or his siblings
No. No one knows Greek mythology except you. No one has ever read a book. Ever

This sketch is SO stacked in cast it’s so beautiful
truth is, hades is also the god of wealth because wealth comes from the ground. hephaestus, as a smith, may be involved in the coining of currency. hermes is not only a messenger, but god of magic, thieves, writing and, i think, also trade. apollo may also be involved. the association with the sun is also an association with gold
god of music would also be apollo
luciferangelica let us not be distracted by the fact there’s a Greek god of wealth
Girlcop17 what would you prefer we be distracted by?

Hades is the God of death but he collects two coins from every dead person and can sniff gold and silver from all corners of the earth which makes him the richest of the gods
Fucking anti semitic creep
LOL this chain tho
Also, he was considered the patron of mining and precious metals.
Tsar Nicholas Hades is not the god of death Thanatos is.
im 17 year old and Hades is the god of underworld, not death. Thanatos is the god of death. Hades oversees and rules the underworld. It doesnt take a huge genius to know the difference.

Isn't Hermes the god of commerce and finance?
Ecthelion008 Lol, there's more where that came from. I spent way too much time with Greek mythology as a child, reading books about it that were way too dirty and violent and incestuous for my age.
+Benjamin Rome Clarke Hermes is the personal Mailman of the gods, that's his main speciality at least :P
TasosEG While that's his role in mythology, he was worshiped by the ancient Greeks for a variety of other reasons; as a patron of shepherds, of merchants, of children and even thieves. He also led the souls of the dead into the afterlife. He's not just a mailman. He's one of the religion's chief deities.
+Benjamin Rome Clarke Greeks OBVIOUSLY don't need an economist, but they prefer to get their letters in time. So therefor they gave the economist some manual work. ^_^
+Benjamin Rome Clarke well did you expect from those guys to know that? Like the rest of the stuff in the sketch are true(no hard-working even though statistically greece is one of the most ahrd working in europe). it doesnt matter though.its a humor sketch.doesnt need to be totally fact proof. we just watch and laugh.

Asbjørn Christensen, thank you for correcting me, It truly is appreciated, it was an honest mistake mixing Roman mythology and Greek mythology. But y'all kind of just went off on eachother and need to take a chill pill
No, That's Pluto - The roman equivalent of Hades. Hades was ever only god of the dead and king of the underworld. Hermes on the other hand was god of merchants, commerce and trading
Asbjørn Christensen Notice how this is Greek and not Roman
@@aresbishop5636 Yes, that wa my point. People tend to get confused about what areas Hades was god of, and which areas Pluto was god of, but Hades, the greek god was only god of the dead/underworld, NOT money

Apollo is also the God of music but ok
Actually he was just the god of music but somewhere along the line in the history of the Greeks he somehow replaced Helios as the god of the sun
No, it's a joke. Yanni is a famous Greek songwriter.
@@momgirlcop1 He's more than god of music and god of sun.
Sakhmet C. No he just replaced Helios because Helios was too reckless and let his son Drive the sun chariot
Yeah....that was an error. The Greeks called Apollo “Phoebus” (“shining”) cuz he was so handsome. Somewhere, down the line, some Latin scholar thought this meant Apollo was the sun god.
